New factions are needed!
we could have:
I dont know like Canada, Australia etc. Just more of the commonwealth.
Especially indians would make for a great adition.
I would also like to see more minor faction trough event squads like Mongolian troop and Buryat, Armenian, etc, minority troops for Soviets.
Thai maybe for Japs or something
I don’t think more factions is what this game needs. But I would like to see more Soldier nationalities put in
Sub factions would be great!
New faction is literally the last thing this game needs.
No, not really.
the hard truth is that darkflow has no intentions on adding more factions lol
France, Italy, Commonwealth, and China are really the only factions left that have a sizeable amount of gear to add as full fledged factions to the game.
I doubt Darkflow is going to add any more factions though. The fact that they are adding China as part of the US through Event Squads / Premium Squads makes me feel this way. They will probably just add other nations to the game via Event Squads and Premium Squads. But who knows, at most I could see them only adding France and separating the Italians and the Commonwealth into their own factions.
I doubt nations like Finland, Hungary, Greece, Poland, etc would ever be added to the game on their own.
the problem is that italy, china, and france do not have any BR5 worthy tanks at all
and judging by how darkflow handled japan, they probably want every single faction to be on par with each other despite historical implications
not new factions, but I would prefer a focus on subfaction equipment. (after they work on core stuff like AI, customisation, BR ratings, Plane + vehicle physics and flight models)
I would prefer to see more equipment for Commonwealth, France, Italy, Hungary, Romania and Japan.
USA, Soviets and Germany have enough (for now)
Agreed. DF should focus a bit on the good guys for once (Commonwealth babeh!)
And perhaps Japan as well… their TT is lacking.
I believe the ones you listed there all make sense as ‘factions’.
Personally Ive suggested
France-Poland-Netherlands-Belgium as one faction (comprised of those 4 nations)
China is difficult since so much of its tech was ‘copy paste’ so to speak.
Theres ZERO reason why UK-Commonwealth and Italy shouldnt have their own factions. They have more than enough tech.
UK-Commonwealth and Italy would also allow for sub factions or at least national squads and weapons so like Italy could have Hungary and Romania for example (see War Thunder)
Greece Id add as a part of the UK-Commonwealth since we fought alongside each other.
A Norwegian squad could be added to the previously mentioned France-Poland-BENE tree.
@Willcario I hear you, but thats why the playerbase just needs to get through the devs heads that not every faction needs to be BR V. Doing so ruins the game.
Having some factions be less would allow for more variety (Japan atm is good that it has less tech to grind) and also reflect historical reality (in 1945 USA, USSR and Germany were the ‘BR V’ powers in terms of technological development)
I reckon Italy and UK-Commonwealth could get to BR IV easily. I feel like there would be a BR V British tank, open to suggestions there.
France-Poland-BENE Id say BR III, maybe IV (theres 4 nations there, plenty of potential tech).
Id also add that I think a strong BR I-III tree is much better for Enlisted than a thinly spread out BR I-BR V tree (i.e Japan).
If we cant have new factions (again Im only suggesting UK-Commonwealth, Italy + Minor Axis Nations, France-Poland-BENE and maybe China)
then yes at least give us sub-factions.
The lack of Commonwealth stuff is infuriating because they’re so easy to add. We’ve got most Commonwealth tech already, and some Commonwealth uniforms already exist as assets.
All we need is freely available appearance options for Commonwealth nations and some Commonwealth specific squads (eg Owen gun should be Australian, Ross rifle should be Canadian etc.)
New factions?
We must liberate the United Kingdom and Italy from superpower opression and give them independence.
Free Italy!
Would like to see the Royal Gurkha Rifles
Rather unpopular opinion, but Finland > France. Just more variety in what’s available, especially at higher BRs.
The current ranking system is not conducive to the addition of new factions, even for the British and Italian ones. In order to barely fill the farce that is Battle Rating 5, DF has to tell one lie after another, just like what happened with the Japanese faction. New factions can attract a large number of new players, which is an important way to keep the game alive. Opposing the addition of new factions is shortsighted. However, with the repeated delays, it’s easier to witness the decline of Enlisted than to see the introduction of new factions.
adding minor nations with a limited BR spread is the optimal way to solve this.
this way france, poland & finland can stay on BR-1-2-3 (whaterver is the logical maximum for the weapons).
can be tied intelligently into generic maps too, eg fortified district could be a finish map too north of leningrad) to increase the amount of available maps.
important: minor nations need to have halfed additional squad slot costs!
yes Finland would open great possibilities in terms of equipment but also with the maps (winter/summer/ as well for the uniforms winter/summer). We could have also ski units
